Hi there. When trying to convert some BLAST XML to tabular format, from an old version of BLAST (2.2.15), I had to make some changes to blastxml_to_tabular.py to get correct results. A patch is enclosed in this message (and attached). I don't think they should negatively affect anyone, but the semantics are as follows:
Do you have some test files to make into a unit test?
I think some of these problems "went away" with the More recent versions of BLAST+, but it seems a good Idea to try and cater to the older output if possible.
